To take only 5.......
« on: October 29, 2005, 03:25:43 AM »
I have been away for awhile and HOPEFULLY I am going to be able to be here more often now so I decided to post a topic to see what Track Equipment everyone is throwing or taking to league or tournaments.

If I were to take only 5 performance bowling balls (which is a sin ) they would be:

Heavy: Rule Delta 1(league) tournament Rule GP2
Med/Heavy: Rule Delta 1 (tournament) Arsenal Reactive (league)
Med: Solution PowerPlus (league) Xception 5.0 (tournament)
Med/light: Heat
light: Desert Heat

As you can see I am having a difficult time staying to the 5.....but I tried

Ex, I take these to my tough sport condition type league.

Animal
AR
slash
angular
desert heat

These 5 cover everything I see.  I do want to add another angular to the mix drilled a lot different than the one I have.

On another note, I get a lot of use out of the desert heat.  I use it for spares and dry.  I would like to buy another one of these because of how much use it gets.

I do have a couple of balls (V2 Pearl, Zone Classic) from other companines that I use a fair amount in tournaments.  Aside from those two, everything else I throw is from Track.  Here's my five most-used with a brief note on each-


Freak-a-Zoid:  It's the one ball I look for reasons to throw right now.  I'm extremely happy with the way it rolls, reads lane conditions, and carries, and I'm able to use it on a decent range of conditions.  It's a shame they're being discontinued.
Crunch Time:  Great ball for easier tournament conditions for me.
Heat:  Good length, smooth hook...I love the way this ball rolls on broken-down conditions.
Desert Heat:  PHENOMINAL ball for drier/broken-down lanes.
Rule:  It's a shame that, outside of regionals, I don't see tournaments with longer patterns on a consistent basis in the Northeast.



I also throw a Slash in league to go with my FAZ and Heat...I really don't need anything other than those 3 for league.  In tournaments, I also have a Rule GP2 drilled for an early, smooth roll that I throw on the extremely rare instances that I find a long and heavy pattern.  Seems like everything around here is short (35-37') and average in volume, or longer (40-42') and lighter in volume.

Carl,

Right now I'm having great success with carrying these six to league with me.

Rule
Arsenal Reactive

Have been very happy since getting my Solution. I have been using this for all three games during the league, if you get a chance check out my Mini-Review thread...After about another week I should be posting a full review on the actual threads on the home page! Later and God Bless!
